  1. That song brings back so many good memories, what a cool song Scott McKenzie played with John Phillips in The Journeymen, just before Phillips went on to form the Mamas and the Papas
  2. Doesn't bare thinking about
  3. PS Great thread VS, thanks
  4. He is married to a NZ woman, and lives in the US, he wanted to move here but had a medical condition, so has not given approval Only ever had the one hit
  5. Very good advice, thanks for reminding us all about this and how easy it is to fall into that trap
  6. Glad you re-read it, I think FU was referring to PM's allegedly read on RC, NOT BOAY
  7. Still a worry, if someone else is using his account as you say, then someone has been able to get into that account, and of course that also means being able to access his personal message system, which may contain confidential information
  8. If as you say NM, your brother's account is being used(not by him), then that should be cause for concern for anyone who has registered at RC
  9. Mmmmmmm.......appears also that you have become a stooge for RC site owner, info in that post that only they would know, very likely, that he even wrote that post, his dopey style
  10. Regardless of how well you think RC may or may not be doing, breaching privacy is against the law. Also as such I have edited your post to delete my name and replace it with my posting name. If things are going so well, perhaps some of that money that is being poured into comps, should be put into basic site maintenance so there isn't a 2 second refresh delay for a start
  11. May I add, read the welcome message at the top to get a view on how seriously this site takes posters privacy
  12. You would also have to say, some possibly serious breaches of privacy going on at RC, beware The Chief understands the software better than anyone, perhaps he could brief us on just what might be happening at RC I have little doubt that people of interest have had their mailbox hacked into
  13. Anyone don't get what I mean have a look at the profile of the winner on the RC Jewels comp Talk about dance of the desperates
  14. At least we are not digging up old bodies from 2006, somehow breathing new life into them, too much life in fact, as they are winning comps
  15. Stipes report says it will win next start JOHNNY LINCOLN (R Hannam) – When questioned into performance rider could offer no excuse. A subsequent veterinary inspection revealed no obvious abnormality.
  16. Right, let's see who is prepared to put their money where their mouth is R7 TAURUS Good course stats, will handle a sticky track, and no lightweights in this field. R8 JOHNNY LINCOLN Remember this horse 2 starts back on a S9 on the same course, badly hampered when they all headed for the outside rail coming into the straight
  17. In view of the law professions current image problems, I thought this guy would be at home https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12062219
  18. Good on you Thomas, not that I know you, but sounds like you are a legend in your own lunchtime You've got a bit of competition here also for starting threads
  19. RC? With master debater Ted.
  20. For many years, we had a wonderful crop of Winter gallopers, particularly at Trentham and then the Winter Cup, even Te Rapa when it used to be a bog in Winter, dare I say it, even Ellerslie, that we looked forward to. The Cornwall, Taumarunui Cup, Parliamentary and Whyte were iconic races Those days probably ended about 10 years ago
  21. What actually went wrong at Eagle Farm, reading up about it, seems like an unmitigated disaster? Was it a Strathayr track?
  22. http://www.racingqueensland.com.au/racing-and-results/video-replays/player/thoroughbred/doom/20180526/race/1
  23. Actually it is a very good analogy, when was the last time we saw a top level rugby match played with the players covered in mud
  24. The main reason I posted, was that people are referring to 'synthetic' tracks, when both Strathayr and Motz can hardly be described as synthetic. Still looks like good old turf, with the positive additions as you describe. As an aside and I realise it is not related, but brings back memories of Dick Motz, that great NZ cricketer
  25. With Counties off due to too much rain, perhaps time to start the debate on all weather tracks. Remember places like Hong Kong have all weather tracks, get many times more rainfall than most places in NZ, yet rarely abandon Some call them synthetic tracks, but the only thing synthetic about Strathayr, is the little squares of plastic mesh incorporated into the top turf layer. This article is well worth a read for anyone wanting to get up to speed. http://ua-rtip.org/sites/ua-rtip.org/files/casimaty.pdf
